Compose Facebook Reels Trending Ads

Updated 

Use Ads Composer to create and publish Facebook Reels Trending Ads campaigns in Sprinklr. You can select trending topics, define audience and inventory settings, reserve reach and frequency, add media creatives, and review the campaign in a single workflow.
